A millennium-old county town, Cicheng rice cakes have been praised by CCTV

After staying in the city for a long time, one always wants to visit some old places to have a look around, and of course, these places need to be quiet, where one can stay peacefully, without hurry or irritation. There is such an old county town in the suburbs of Ningbo, where stepping in is like traveling back to the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it's also less crowded and quiet. Cicheng ancient county town is located in the old town area of Cicheng Town, Jiangbei District, Ningbo City, where the layout of the former county town and a large number of ancient Ming and Qing buildings are preserved. Strolling through the town, you can see the simple and deep houses everywhere, making it a comfortable and quiet ancient town. There is no admission fee to enter the ancient town, and the rice cake exhibition hall in the City God Temple is also free to visit, so wandering around is a very comfortable option. The places that require a ticket are the Confucius Temple, the county government office, the Scholar's Pavilion, and the Qing Taoist Temple, all connected by flat paths. Due to the narrow streets, it is not very suitable to drive in the ancient town. If you find walking tiring, you can hire a tricycle to take you to the next close stop for about 5 yuan. The west side of the county government office is the City God Temple and the Cicheng Rice Cake Shop, which not only displays the process of making rice cakes with real objects and pictures but also allows you to taste the Cicheng rice cakes that have been featured on CCTV programs if you are hungry.
